When Trick's body disappears into the town river, everyone thinks he's dead. Only Denver believes he's still alive. But now, as strange occurrences disrupt the peace of the town, nobody can deny that Trick has returned. Obsessed with catching the murderer, Denver will do whatever it takes to stop Trick claiming their next victim.
